Withdrawal Access
Cannot withdraw winnings without completing KYC. You can play contests but money remains locked until verification.
Account Security
Prevents fraud and ensures the account belongs to a real person. Protects your winnings.
TDS Processing
PAN card required for TDS deduction and certificate issuance if winnings exceed ₹10,000.
Required documents

PAN Card
Permanent Account Number issued by Income Tax Department. Upload clear photo/scan showing full card. Name on PAN must match Dream11 account name.

Address Proof
Aadhaar Card (preferred), Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License. Must show your current address clearly.

Troubleshooting verification issues
Common problems and solutions during KYC verification.
PAN Verification Failed
Ensure name on PAN matches Dream11 account exactly (including middle name). Re-upload clear, unblurred photo of PAN card.
Bank Verification Pending
Check if penny drop succeeded. Ensure account is active and not frozen. Try adding different bank account if one fails.
Document Rejected
Upload higher quality scan/photo. Ensure all 4 corners visible. Remove glare or shadows. Try different document type.
Name Mismatch
All documents must have exact same name. If married and name changed, update PAN first or use maiden name documents.
